Peritoneum Flashcards

1
Q

Peritoneum: parietal og visceral

A
  • Parietal perit, lines ant+post+lateral walls of peritoneal cavity(abd and pelvic cavities)
  • Visceral perit, lines intraperiton. organs

Q

Peritoneum histology

A

Single layer flat mesothelial cells (free surface), supported by submesothelial CT

1) Parietal perit, LOOSELY conn to abd + pelvic walls by subserous fascia(submesothelial CT)
- ->allows nokkuð alterations in size of rectum og bladder

  • Parietal perit, FIRMLY fused to diaphragm.
    2) Visceral perit, FIRMLY att. to surf of organs. Forms the serous coat (tunica serosa) of organs

Q

Peritoneal cavity

A
  • narrow space milli parietal og visceral perit.
  • small amount of peritoneal(serous) fluid, to allow mobile viscera to glide
  • amount of fluid can increase td inflammatory conditions or tumors
  • contains NO GAS under normal circumst.
  • It has large surface area –> g ýtt undir spread of disease thru perit. cav and visceral surfaces
  • g verið, administering some therapeutic solutions og procedures (t.d peritoneal dialysis)

Q

Peritoneal folds

A

Eru omenta, mesenteries og ligaments

  • They conn. organs to abd wall, or to each other
  • They have vessels + nerves to supply the viscera, or to help maintain proper positioning of viscera

*These folds develop from the original dorsal og ventral mesenteries, which suspend the developing GI tract in the developing coelemic cavity.

Q

Greater omentum

A
  • two layered peritoneal apron
  • arises from gr. curvature of stomach, and drapes over transv. colon, jejunum og ileum (freely suspended)
  • has accumulation of fat
  • has right+left gastroomental vessels
  • Thicker + upper part forms gastrocolic ligg
  • derived from dorsal mesentery
  • Policeman of abdomen: can migrate to any inflamed area and wrap around organ to enclose inflamation.

  • from lesser curvature of stomach and upper p of duodenum to inf. surf of liver
  • medial part; hepatogastric ligg (milli stomach og liver)
  • lateral part; hepatoduodenal ligg (milli duodenum og liver)
  • Hepatoduodenal ligg:
    a) Portal vein - posteriorly
    b) proper hepatic artery - anteriorly on left side
    c) bile duct - anteriorly on right side

Q

Mesentery

A
  • er fan shaped, double layered fold of peritoneum
  • conn. jejunum og ileum to post. abd. wall
  • frá duodenojejunal flxure to iliocaecal junction
  • contains vessels, nerves + lymphatics sem supplya jejunum og ileum

*crosses: abd aorta, IVC and right ureter

Q

Supramesocolic and Inframesocolic p. of peritoneal cavity

A

ROOT of transv mesocolon divides peritoneal cav. into–>

1) supramesocolic part (organs there supplied by coeliac A)
2) inframesocolic part (organs there supplied by sup og inf mesenteric arteries)

*duodenum og pancreas eru supplied by coeliac artery and superior mesenteric artery

14
Q

Sigmoid mesocolon

A
  • er inverted, V-shaped, double layered peritoneal fold
  • att sigmoid colon to abd.wall
  • crosses left gonadal vessels, left iliac vessels and left ureter
  • has sigmoid and superior rectal vessels. Along with nerves + lymp.
15
Q

Peritoneal conn. of liver

A

Falciform ligg: peritoneal fold, ext from umblicus to liver
-it contains the fibrous round/teres ligg of liver (remnant of umbl.vein), it runs on inf surf of liver

  • liver is conn. to ant.abd wall by falciform ligg. and coronary ligaments.
  • The falciform ligg cont. on the diaphragm. surf of liver into the coronary ligg (sem borda bare area) og att. liver to diaphragm
16
Q

Parietal peritoneum of ant.abd. wall

A
  • is folded by some embryonic remnants milli umblicus og pubic bone
  • under peritoneum of ant.abd wall, milli bladder og umblicus::

a) middle umblical fold: due to middle umbl. ligg (remnant of urachus)
b) medial umbl. fold: elevated by medial umbl. ligg (remnant of umbl. artery)
c) lateral umbl fold: elevated by inf. epigastric vessels.

17
Q

In pelvis females peritoneal folds

A
  • uterus conn. to lateral pelvic walls by perit. fold = broad ligg of uterus
  • ovary conn. to post. surf of broad ligament of uterus by the Mesovary
18
Q

Peritoneal cavity division into sacs

A

a) Lesser sac/omental bursa; narrow cavity behind stomach og below liver
b) Greater sac; rest of peritoneal cavity

19
Q

Lesser sac/omental bursa boundaries

A
  • superiorly: liver
  • inferiorly; transverse colon
  • anteriorly; lesser omentum, STOMACH, og origin of gr. omentum
  • posteriorly; pancreas, upper p left kidney, left supraren og transverse mesocolon

-laterally, the bursa ext from: epiploic foramen(on right) to hilum of spleen (on left)

20
Q

Epiploic foramen (of Winslow)

A
  • omental bursa communicates w. greater sac thru epiploic foramen

Borders:

  • superiorly: liver
  • anteriorly; hepatoduodenal ligg
  • inferiorly; sup. p of duodenum
  • posteriorly; IVC (cov w peritoneum)
